Thus, the pentatonic scale in the example above could be sung: **mi sol ta do re mi**
Thus, the pentatonic scale in the example above could be sung: **mi sol ta do re mi**


**Note: I have started using "ta" for 7/4 and "te" for 16/9. "Te" is the traditional name for a flat seventh in the solfege system. "Ta" is a new name. As the traditional solfege system does not admit subminor sevenths, it seemed appropriate to use a new name. In systems which do not distinguish between a minor and subminor seventh, such as [[12edo]] or [[22edo]], "te" would be appropriate. "Ta" indicates a distinctly septimal interval. Also, it's a perfect fifth up from 7/6, which I call "ma." That gives us the fifths ma-ta, me-te, mu-tu, mi-ti and mo-to. Of course, the system breaks down in systems where there are, for instance, multiple subminor sevenths and multiple neutral thirds....**
